This recommended practice describes 1) methods for measuring external electric and magnetic fields and
contact currents to which persons may be exposed, 2) instrument characteristics and the methods for
calibrating such instruments, and 3) methods for computation and the measurement of the resulting fields
and currents that are induced in bodies of humans exposed to these fields. This recommended practice is
applicable over the frequency range of 0 Hz to 100 kHz.
